Free Email Hosting Resources

Each of the hosting accounts available at A2 Hosting are loaded with free email resources. These free email hosting solutions can be found and managed within the award winning cPanel control panel under the Email heading. These features include:

Email Accounts

The Email Accounts area found in cPanel is used for general administration to help you host email of your own. This is where you will:

• Create email accounts
• Delete email accounts
• Set or reset passwords
• Set mailbox space quotas
• Set password reset security questions
• Configure IMAP or POP3 settings

Webmail

Webmail is the place in cPanel where you can read, send and manage your web hosting account’s email. You will be able to access your email at http://webmail.yourdomain.com with the login information created in the Email Accounts area of cPanel. A2 Hosting accounts include Horde, SquirrelMail and RoundCube as webmail solutions.

Email Delivery Route

Email Delivery Route shows you the route that an email server will use to send a message to a specific email address.

BoxTrapper

BoxTrapper is a resource that prevents users not on your whitelist from sending you email. When BoxTrapper is activated, anyone sending an email must first send a verification email before their message can be delivered. This verifies that the person trying to email you is not a spammer.

SpamAssassin

SpamAssassin is an automated spam filtering system that identifies spam based on the content of the email. SpamAssassin allows you to set a custom spam filtering score of 1-10 so that the higher the score, the stricter the filtering. SpamAssassin also allows you to set specific email addresses that you would like to block.

Email Authentication

Email Authentication offers tools to prevent a spammer’s forged email from going in and out of your web server. This can occur when a spammer alters an email to make it appear that their sent message came from an email address that you host. Email authentication also helps prevent unwanted email and bounces that might occur from this “spoofing” practice.

Email authentication can be performed through cPanel via DomainKeys and Sender Policy Framework (SPF). DomainKeys checks incoming email against the server it was sent from to verify that the email was not modified and is actually from the listed sender. DomainKeys also makes it easier to track abusive email messages. SPF specifies what machines are allowed to send email from your domain. Only the email sent via the specified server(s) will appear as valid through SPF records when messages are sent.

Email Forwarders

Email Forwarders allow you to send a copy of all email from one account and have it automatically sent to another account. An email forwarder is a great tool for users who have changed, or have more than one email address and only want to check one account.

MX Entry

MX Entry is used to deliver your email for a particular domain to a different server than the one your website is hosted on.

Auto Responders

An auto responder will automatically message back anyone who sends an email to a specific email account with a customized message. This is a great resource when you will be away from your email for a long period of time. The auto response will let anyone contacting you know when they can expect a response to their email.

Mailing List

The Mailing List tool is a great time saving solution. Mailing lists are used to simplify the process of sending the same email message to a group of people. A mailing list organizes email addresses and allows you to avoid typing in those addresses each time an email needs to be sent to that group.

Email Filtering

Filtering allows you to create and manage email rules to improve organization for specific accounts. A sample filter would be for email from your colleagues to go into your work related email folder and email from family to go into a family related email folder.

Global Level Filtering

Account Level Filtering is much like User Level Filtering. The difference is that Account Level Filtering creates email rules that apply to every email account that you host.
